Usually how large is the update file ?

Hi guys, quite new to flashing here.
Will I success flash to 2.3.5 if follow these 2 guides ?

1 - http://androidflip.com/how-to-install-flas...y-s-2-gt-i9100/ (understanding)
2 - http://androidflip.com/install-android-2-3...stalling-guide/ (files needed)

and will it wipe everything on my s2 ?

Hey guys, just flashed my phone to KI3 using Odin, I noticed a slight choppiness while scrolling through home screens, anyone facing the same problem ?

EDIT : Once again expecting no replies, bystander effect I think.

Guys, anyway to disable the homescreen feature on 2.3.5 where when you swipe at the last home screen will bring you back to the first homescreen ? I find it quite annoying.

I thought Samsung confirmed ?

The future doesn't mean ICS is ready for it ma...
Just like you have the most powerful rig in the world, but can you install Win8 in it ? No, because it's not ready for public release yet.

EDIT : The example maybe wrong, but yeah, you get what I mean right.

Not really a theme but it's something like a skin.

To me it's a skin, where the theme sits on top of the skin, just like ADW have lots of different themes.
But in the end, it's A FRICKIN' LAUNCHER.

Um guys, if I wanna downgrade my firmware say from 2.3.5 to 2.3.3, do I have to wipe all data or just flash like usual using Odin ?

Okay thanks for paying attention, I wanna ask do I need to wipe everything if I'm downgrading from 2.3.5 to 2.3.3. I'll fash to official ROM btw.

And I'll take this time to post my thoughts about this thread.
Since this phone is quite a popular phone, so users are increasing everyday, and new users come in everday and look at this thread. And when new users need some help, they'll directly post their question up here and hope for answers.
But unfortunately the first page of this thread has "so much" information in it that seniors here tend to just call them to read the first page before asking. I know I know, it's annoying to replying something to someone which the answer is dead obvious and can be found on the first page right ? But do you know how it feels to get "shoot" (I don't really know if "shoot" is the right way to describe or not. ) when you're coming here asking for help ?
Okay, yes the first page has lots of information, I've also scrolled through the first page before, but do you know being a newbie at this thread and to find a tiny little info on the first page feels like finding a neddle in a haystack ? The first page is FILLED with words and the wall of text will make any new users , unlike if you're a senior in this thread who's familliar with the thread will just go there directly and do not need to read every single word of the first page to find the info needed.

So yeah, that's my thoughts about this thread and I do apologize first if I offended anyone of you and excuse my English because I'm still a form student.

Thanks for your time and I hope this thread will be improved.

Yea, I know that some seniors are nice but some are not, some will just directly shoot you and say it's on the first page and I will not be amused that the post above this will get the same answer too.

But removing the spoilers will make the post and page hella long.
But in the end for this thread besides providing lots of useful info make it hassle-free for newbies too.

But my question is, is it really THAT hard to explain small little simple things to a newbie? (Well implying that the problem is rather small.) And not many people have much time to read those posts as well as those in XDA, I know slowly but surely, but many people came for short, direct answers if they do not plan to keep up with this thread and chat along users in this thread.

Yea I agree on this. For that even Google can answer. No need to scroll through kilometers of info on the front page.

I know what you mean but as I said, not many people have that much time to read and scroll through that page. Personally I do read the first page and when I got confuse, I'll ask here and often I will be ignored, that's how the SEX!!! image came.

Yes I understand how you feel as well as other seniors in this thread feels but maybe I'm still not a senior in this thread yet, but time will tell.

And one more piece of advise, please don't ignore users. I always get ignored in this thread, well I don't know maybe the first page got it's answer but ignoring is just

Okay back to the question why I'm here.
I'm planning to downgrade my 2.3.5 to 2.3.3 and I wanna know is it just flash normally using Odin or need to wipe everything, yes I tried Ctrl+F on first page and Google didn't give me answers.

Okay, thanks I will refer.

I'm on stock 2.3.5 KI4

Non-G, I find on 2.3.5 the transition is kinda laggy and when you add the task manager widget the homescreen will become slightly choppy. (Slightly as in quite obviously noticable.) And the blue glow on the browser sucks.

Good thing is they fixed the overheating issue though.

Okay while still being a partially complete n00b in flashing, means I need to download the firmware file and include the tick on "re-partition" on Odin ? (Sorry not familliar with CWM.) And thanks for the advice, as they say, "reality hits you hard bro."

Use some credit card or some hard card to push away air-bubbles while applying it.

I'm still considering whether to flash or not to flash, but after using a week since I got the S2 I really can tell although without the task manager widget the transition performance decreased.

It makes me feel that 2.3.3 for S2 is like the perfect match, while others after 2.3.3 is not that "complete" if you know what I mean.
Or maybe this KI4 is just a leaked version so I can't expect much from it.
